retroed Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Out today on 360, PS3, PSP, and PC. There was a bit of talk about this in the demo thread in this very section, but seeing as the game is out now, i thought I'd start a topic. Anyways, I thought I'd have another quick go on the Canyon track. I was 1st after the first lap, and continued to hold the position until the end. I seem to be getting the hang of the controls now, and am absolutely loving it. It's one of those racers that brings a huge smile to your face, similar to that of when I first experienced OutRun 2006 C2C. I'm seriously thinking of picking SEGA Rally up soon, perhaps when it drops in price a bit. I can imagine this will be a game that doesn't get the attention it deserves, and will be price slashed in a month or two, but I could be wrong. Although £29.99 for the 360 version on blahdvd is tempting, I must hold off for the time being as I have enough to keep me going right now. If I find a spare 30 notes doing nothing, it's going straight on this, however. Fantastic arcade racer. Looks amazing and handles superbly. Well done Sega. EDIT: It's also £29.99 in gamestation I believe, hmmm what can I trade... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I'm gonna give the demo some more time over the weekend. I still think it's a certainty that I will be buying this when I get paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 Some first impressions over at NTSC-UK have tipped me over the edge. I'm going to take the remaining games I'm trying to get rid of into Gamestation and see what I can get, I know Worms 2 PSP is a tenner straight off the bat, so I may be able to get it without laying out many/any funds. The more I think about the game, the more I want it! Online races should be great with six cars and tight courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 Well I ended up getting this today. I traded in Worms 2 PSP (£17), Powerstone Collection PSP (£5), and Snowboards Kids DS (£5). It was £39.99 instore, so I had to pay £12.99 for it, but I'm happy with that. I haven't played the full game yet, but I intend to have a few blasts on it this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supagorgonizer Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I got this too, its fantastic! great track design especially, a bit tricky in places, but that may be becuase i'm still a bit rubbish at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 I've been playing this a little bit, whilst waiting for PGR4 to arrive, and it's a superb game. The graphics are very impressive, and it controls excellently once you get to know how Sega Rally plays. This game will sit very nicely next to PGR4/Forza2, when you just feel like having a quick blast for 5 or 10 mins. It has that just one more go thing going on, mind.

Shin_Seffron Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Ive only had a quick go on the demo of Sega Rally, and i must say i didnt think too much of it. I loved the first one like a cute puppy, but this one didnt grab me. I think it was the over exaggerated power slides where your car ends up pretty much facing backwards before you start turning Maybe ill have to give it more of a chance because i do want to like this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I had another go of the demo last week and won my first race! Another example of that strange gaming phenominon where you get better by not playing something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I did exactly the same thing! Not long before Ed posted this last night, actually, I thought I'd give it another blast. I failed miserably. BUT! I gave it another go and tried to be more gentle with the turning and let go of the acelerator (rather than use the handbrake, which is what a mate advised me to do) and I actually came first! I still can't tell what difference the track deformation makes to the actual gameplay, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyleth Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Being a big fan of the original Sega Rally I wanted to cry when I saw new cars in Sega Rally, the gameplay has kept me from crying though, until I unlocked the Modified class, the cars are fucking retarded, it's like they have the turning circle of a tank. Luckily the Masters class is awesome as pie as the cars are stupidly fast for such retro cars and handle lovely, not long until I unlock that stratos now. Sadly though, it doesn't hold that certain Sega Rally charm that attracted me to Sega Rally one and two so much, still a pretty darn good game though.

Hendo Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Ok, I'm sold. I showed this to my invisible friend over the weekend (both of us are big fans of the Dreamcast one) and i showed him how slippy the handling is. However, even though both of us hate first-person driving views with a passion, we found that FP view really works on this, makes it playable, nay awesome. More to the point, he said he's buy a 360 for that, which is pretty strong stuff as he's fallen out of love with games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Awesome! Bumper cam rules for racing games in my opinion, although with Sega Rally I find myself using the bonnet cam all the time. Glad you're getting it though, I'll have to get back into it and have some races soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Bought it last night and it is teh awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I've been playing the crap out of this since last night, round a mate's place, and we even took it online and took turns playing against people (and we are both shite). Some French dude was like a fucking machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Triple post FTW. Been playing the shit out of this lately, I've even took it online against strangers and even been playing it in ranked matches. Last time I looked I was something like 1000 rank in the world, which is crazy as I'm actually a bag of shite. One of the best racing games I've played, but don't play it in anything other than bumper view - it's easy to tell the people that haven't played it much or are playing in the standard view, as they swerve across the track like crazy!

spatular Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 i always use chase cam, and am finding it really hard to progress in single player so maybe i'll try the bumper cam? been playing it on and off for a while and like it, but am not completely convinced by the handling, it seems faster on some corners to hit the wall, which is a bit silly.
